JUST DIDN'T LIKED THE REEL FORMAT
The only thing I do not like about this drama is its format , but every thing here is good and easy to digest and a binge watchable, thanks to the sources out there who made a compilation of this reel type series to be put into a 1-2 hour range video that made it possible for me to watch the entire series .FIrst I love the cast ! they were so beautiful guys like specially Moon Do Ha .. the way he expresses his jealousy and his love language to Ja Yeon was all over his eyes .. and Jae Yeon's response in acting was all perfect.
what I like most about it was the sweet moments of the leads specially when Do Ha was asking Jae Yeon to go out with him they were really cute .. everything here was just simple and fluffy and just a feel good drama I really hope I may see these two guys again together in a non reel format BL please !

Really Really Cute
This is really cute. I'm not a fan of 2 min episodes unless I can binge watch, so that is what I did. I was not disappointed.Do Ha was cute, witty, petulant, direct and a whip smart intellect that he hid under a non chalant facade. Jae Yeon was interesting, elusive, reluctant, intuitive and perfect for him. Do Ha took his time to figure out what he was feeling but when he did, he didn't hold back. He engaged all of his charming wiles and made sure Jae Yeon had no choice but to choose. He chose.
Pros:
Visuals
Whitty conversations
Playful banter between leads and support
Partners who enjoy being together
Partners who match intellectually
A script with a little surprise
Actors that are entertaining
A series that doesn't need a nc scene to carry the romance.
No unnecessary drama
Con
2 min episodes.
It was fun, a delight to view and light enough to be entertaining. Main and support interacted well together. Would enjoy seeing them together again. Rewatch, yes.

well done micro series
Overall: I enjoyed the back and forth with the leads/their dynamic. 63 episodes between 1-2 minutes each aired on Vigloo app which also has (You Want Some, Rule #1 No Dating Rule, Love in the Apocalypse)What I Liked
- idol and trainer/stunt person
- how both were equally sassy
- caring moments
- non dead fish lip press kiss
Room For Improvement
- background music was too loud at times
How to Watch for Free (episodes are 50 coins each, you can't skip episodes but once unlocked they stay unlocked forever, there are additional tasks to get more coins like following the company on social media)
Day 1
- watch episodes 1-6 (free on the app)
- can watch 10 episodes free with ads, I unchecked the auto unlock, clicked off of that box and another box popped up saying "view ads to watch for free 0/10" (I did that for eps 7-16)
- watch 15 ads per day for 30 coins each on the rewards page and do the daily check in (eps 17-25)
Days 2 & 3
- watch the 10 episodes, do the daily checking, watch the 15 ads per day (should take about 3 days in total to watch for free)

A very sweet take on 2 guys confused by being in love.
This is beyond adorable. The actors are pretty much everyone very good in their roles. The tom boy girl stunt, her sidekick, everyone were good. The two main leads were extraordinarily cute, convincing in their characters, the abundance of straightforwardness combined with occasional shyness, occasional squirming, and dimples everywhere you look, makes for a lovely story. These two do excellent "man lost in love beyond all hope" face. Just watch it, it is short but perfect. I only took a tick of the points because this could have been even better with a little longer running time to flesh them out and a full format but as it is it is a gem of a microdrama, and a gem in vertical filming. The compositions are very well done, it does great use mirrors and shoot s it in a way that works for vertical.Was this review helpful to you?
Not enough stakes, not enough sparks.
This vertically filmed South Korean BL features the encounter of idol Do Ha and stuntman Jae Yeon. As the latest is teaching how to handle action scenes for his next movie to the former, feelings arise. Honestly, I found the story pretty forgettable overall and I think that chemistry could have been better. I was pretty interested by the set up, but looking back at the ending, I feel that the pay off was too modest given the set up done.I would not recommend this series as I feel there are better BL out there. It is a pretty bingeable watch due to the format but I feel that nothing really exciting happens. The vertically filmed scenes did not help to showcase adequately the fighting scenes and the close up on the faces of the actors, rather than creating an impression of intimacy, left me with a feeling of disconnection.

Just too cute but that vertical filming tho, ugh!
I agree with some of the reviews that the reel format sucked. I couldn't really look at these handsome actors on my screen. But outside of that, this was tastefully done with a strong story line and will have you begging for more. The chemistry between the two male leads was just out of this world! Don't sleep on Lee Tae Hyung boy. I guarantee his next BL with the right pairing will explode your screens. I'm here for it. Can't wait for that good angle 😏🔥Was this review helpful to you?

Honestly I was suprised!
Honestly I was suprised! I wish there was a webtoon I could read because this is exactly the kind of dynamic I love.I watched the 1h36min compilation (for free) so I didn’t have to deal with the annoying 2-minute episodes. The only downside—and why I took off 2 stars—is the format and the editing. It’s really choppy. But besides that, the acting and chemistry between the leads are absolutely amazing (playful, sometimes shy, and they give you those “having a crush” kind of feelings, lots of teasing and playful competition ).
I also liked their personalities. They’re not annoying or toxic, and everything is consensual. No melodrama, unnecessary angst, or people acting like jerks. If there were the standard 16ep 1h duration I wouldn't hesitate to watch cuz they are great on screen. If the editing was done properly it would have rlly hit the mark and made it better but even like this I ain't complaining much.
Spoilers:
For this kind of show, I wasn’t expecting a kiss, or I thought if there was one, it would be the awkward "dead fish" kind. But surprisingly, it was okay! There’s one kiss scene and a much longer and hotter post-credit scene (like, what the heck? Why not put it in the show?). They end up together near the end of the show, so there aren’t a lot of romantic scenes, but somehow, I didn’t mind since they were adorable. The idol rlly suprised me with his boldness and honesty. I thought they would go the classical troup way but they didnt! I was pleasantly suprised. Definitely a recommendation!

Greatness
It’s so unfair we get long boring series with stiff acting and no chemistry that have 8-12 episodes and then have small gems like this of only an hour.This was superb acting, excellent story and a fabulous chemistry. If only it weren’t filmed with a sandal lol Vertical filming, very badly done and with (probably) a phone did to this little treasure a great disservice . I absolutely loved it otherwise and I adored brave and sassy Doha 😍👏❤️
